Pulitzer prize-winning cartoonist Ann Telnaes announced her resignation from The Washington Post, citing an editorial decision to scrap a cartoon that included Post owner Jeff Bezos bowing to President-elect Donald Trump.
Telnaes, in a statement posted to Substack Friday night, said that the Post’s decision to kill her cartoon was a “game changer” and warned that “trying to get in the good graces of an autocrat-in-waiting” threatens the function of the free press.
